Looks like a reseal, but my question is, has anyone seen a Bumblejumper on a Bumblebee card which isn't a reseal?

My next question is, how much do you think the above item is actually worth? I can see some chrome wear on the back plate and looks like there's also some on the wheels.

Thanks in advance!

The problem with this is it's a reseal - someone could place a mint bumblejumper (retail value 100) on an opened bumblebee card that originally had a bumblebee (maybe 100 with the bubble/or use a repro bubble). Still expensive to do considering the bumblebee bubble is car mode (1st release), but not improbable.

I remember back in the day that I would see so many variations of this that it was ridiculous. I would often see Cliffjumper on both his and Bumblebee's cards in both colors and the same with Bumblebee and I would also see Bumblejumper on both Cliffjumper and Bumblebee cards (which incidently is why he is often referred to as "Bumblejumper". That particular mold never had it's own card with it's own character name).

Seen some of those too several years ago, when I wasn't into Mini-bots. I think the Estrela/Brazil Bumblejumper had its own card, I'll look it up in my TF pics.

"The toy that has come to be known as "Bumper" or "Bumblejumper" has never had an official Transformer release from either Hasbro or Takara. Originally a mold from Takara's pre-Transformers Microman Microchange line, the yellow version[1] of the "MC-04 Mini CAR Robo 02 Familia 1500XG" mold appeared on Cliffjumper cards in 1984[2] (it's not impossible that he was also available on Bumblebee cards, but to this day, no packaged example has surfaced). How this toy came to be released in this manner has yet to be determined, and it's highly likely the mystery may never be solved, although a few factors point to this toy being intended for a Transformers release by Hasbro.[3]

For years, the toy was referred to as "Bumblejumper" by fans, a portmanteau of "Bumblebee" and "Cliffjumper", since he was believed to have been packaged on the cards for both of those Minicars. In the early 1990s, the shortened and more Transformers-like name "Bumper" began to propagate through the fandom. The name was made "official" for the toy when it was used in the first issue of Dreamwave's on-going Transformers comic in 2004.

The only official Transformers releases of the mold were the versions released by Estrela in Brazil. It was known simply as "Sedan" and was cast in four color schemes, first two as the "Robocar" Sedan, then two more as the heroic "Optimus" Sedan.[4]

The alternate mode for this figure is a Choro-Q version of a Mazda Familia."

I have never seen both Cliffjumpers on Bumblbee's card & I have never seen seen both Bumblebees on Cliffjumper's card. I have only seen Bumblejumper on Cliffjumper's card. Does anybody out there have any other sealed examples besides these?

I've been looking for this variant for a long time, but have never seen a sealed example.

It looks legit. The Bubble appears to be a genuine Bjumper bubble...different from the Cliffjumper or Bee bubbles by a long shot in terms of fit and form. You can also see that the cards colors look genuine enough and YES, there have been sealed Bumblejumper's found on Bumblebee cards.

It's possible it's a complete fake in terms of packaging, but I'm unaware of a counterfeit Bumblejumper bubble that looks that authentic.

The bubble does look legit, but some chrome wear can be seen on the wheels and backplate, I think there's a big possibility it has been resealed.

Do you have any pics of a Bumblejumper on a Bumblebee card? Would love to see them. Thanks in advance.

I saw that too...but I've owned 2 of these MOSC AFA graded, and seen a 3rd MOC. The area/room in the bubble, specifically at the back of the car allows for "play" and that tiny bit of wear at those points is very common, even on MOSC examples. The bjumper bubble is much larger than other pre rub minicar bubbles, and the toy will literally rattle around inside, as if it needs a support like the larger autobot cars. As you tilt the card, the toy will literally "bump" up or down, no pun intended. That is often how that wear you see occurs, even factory sealed on these toys. Good point though, and it still could be a reseal, but if it is, it's one of the best I've ever seen.
